Green Impact

Run by the National Union of Students trading arm, NUS Services, the Green Impact Students’ Union program is an accreditation scheme for environmental good-practice in students’ unions.

NUS established the scheme in 2005 to encourage, nurture, reward and celebrate the good ethical and environmental practice carried out by member Students’ Unions and to share good practice in the sector.

Having successfully improved its rating year on year, Liverpool Guild of Students is aiming to maintain a Gold standard this year in the Green Impact program by working towards being more sustainable and environmentally friendly in its activities.

Last year Liverpool Guild of Students also won the Green Innovation Award for our Green Fingers project and community food growing schemes. The Green Innovation Award recognises the innovative projects that students’ unions put in place to improve their environmental performance. Over the past few years, the University of Liverpool’s Children’s Centre has grown vegetables, salads and herbs on their garden plot with the produce being cooked and used in the children’s lunches. Working in partnership with Ness Gardens volunteers have educated the children about healthy living and horticulture through various activities.
